ping(8) sends an ICMP ECHO packet. ssh(1) establishes a TCP connection. They're both network protocols, but different ones; see /etc/protocols for their numbers. Something was hindering the ECHO packet round trip. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-08-04 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
